GBR said:You seem to have a reasonable rise in the troursers - do you intend to wear them with braces (suspenders)? You could certainly have had them slightly higher or had a fishtail back but they will still look good.
GBR said:Presumably you decided not to have back pockets in them? Views vary but they certainly look clean in appearance as a result.
GBR said:It will be interesting to see the pictures when they are complete - can you post the same selction of views again please? Trousers without coat and as an ensemble? One or two of the inside of each of the jackets would be good as well.
Doran said:I'm finding this all quite gripping. I like the blow-by-blow details. Keep us posted and PICTURES PLEASE.
Oscar Tong said:Today, .
Oops, did old trousers not have back pockets, or something? Mine do have back pockets. I rarely use them, though, so it shouldn't be a problem. (Oh, wait, I guess that means I can leave them out of my next suit.)
I most certainly will post more pictures. I'll try to take them after I unpack, jet lag permitting.
GBR said:Oscar
looking good. When you have chance to put up some more pictures I'll gather my thoughts for what they are worth:
Can you do the
rear view of each without the coat,
a profile with and without coat
and the inside of each coat
please.
This is fantastic project so well reported.

Oscar Tong said:Aw I should have them ready within seven days. What, though, is a profile? [huh]

BellyTank said:When I was living in London, I was one of George's clients-(innit) I used to work two doors down, no, three to the left. Maybe four.
...George, corner shop, Florist, ...
Anyway, he's still on the Walworth Rd., I presume.(?)
BellyTank said:He was more expensive than I was expecting, in 1997-2000 but I'm sure he's way cheaper than a tailor in the City, or the West End.
Do you work south of the river..?

Oscar Tong said:I'm slightly jet-lagged, but with some work, I managed to take a few pictures of myself wearing the suits. Have a look.
It's okay, BellyTank. I was wondering how we got from suits to that George guy. The nature of conversations is funny, isn't it?BellyTank said:Sorry to hijack your thread, Oscar.
Looking good.

I picked the materials myself! Can you tell me more about this traditional Asian finish? It sounds intriguing.cookie said:Both of the suit materials are fab. The interiors are finished in the traditional Asian way with the underarm sweat pads for instance.
I asked for a more visible waist twice, but the tailor said any more, and the jackets would become too tight. [huh]cookie said:I like the summer gray suit but eventhough they think it will shrink somewhat It mabe should be altered a little in the back to make it a bit narrower and more "supressed" ie figure hugging
